Jones is charged with identity theft and false pretenses of $1,000 but less than $20,000 for allegedly lying about having leukemia in order to get money.

In a separate case, Jones is charged with multiple counts of criminal sexual conduct for allegedly molesting the teen at a home in Howell.

Police allege Jones lied to community members who set up "multiple fundraisers" to assist Jones, who also created a fraudulent doctor's note purporting to confirm the leukemia diagnosis when people became suspicious of his claims.

Authorities believe Jones possibly received between $200 and $300 from the fundraisers while more than $1,000 had been donated. The remaining funds did not make it to Jones' account, authorities said.

One victim, Sarah Fryer, told the Livingston Daily that she attended a fundraiser held at Mt. Brighton for Jones along with her family. In all, she estimates she donated $125, which included dinner, baked goods and mementoes marking Jones’ alleged fight with leukemia.

Fryer said she won the 50/50 raffle and was shamed by the event’s hostess into giving the money back to the cause before she could even express it was her desire to re-donate the money.

“His speech was so sincere about his fight and how he was a coach,” the Brighton-area woman said. “He had people crying there from his speech. … To hear that he doesn’t have leukemia and (allegedly) molested someone enrages me.”

In a separate case, Jones is accused of giving a teenager alcohol and chewing tobacco as he tried to "break down the child's defenses, which allowed him to engage in this sexual contact,” authorities said.

Howell Hurricanes Wrestling Club officials said a criminal background check was completed prior to Jones' starting the 2014-15 season. The background check "did not show any criminal history," leaders with the organization wrote in a letter sent to their wrestling families.
